What we deal with in Woughton on the Green
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
For rented flats close to Fenny Stratford station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Your questions about Artex removal in Woughton on the Green
Is asbestos common in Woughton on the Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Woughton on the Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Woughton on the Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
